Fallen

Hey, can you feel my fast, raging heartbeats?
Going a mile a second when you smile
Can you see the love bounding in its leaps?
Honestly, I wouldn't do this, it isn't my style

Here I am, watching you laugh and you cry
On the fringe, not being part of your life
Saying nothing as the day goes on by
Every single passing day only brings me strife

For you, I'd do absolutely anything
Do what makes you happy, even if it hurts me
Now, you are my world, my life, my everything
But I'll hide my feeling so you don't see

How hard I've fallen for you.
